The end of January 2025 will mark eighteen years since the launch of Calvary Bible Church East. As our name indicates, we have built our ministry upon verse-by-verse Bible teaching. To continue this focus, we are planning a one-day Bible conference on Sunday, January 26, that will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will continue through mid-afternoon with lunch and dessert breaks.

Our plan is to teach straight through all five chapters of the New Testament Epistle of James. I have invited eleven men to join me, and we have been meeting together once a month since September to prepare. Some of them have significant experience in teaching. Others are just beginning. Each has been assigned a passage from James and will have fifteen minutes to deliver a mini-sermon on it.

So, I encourage you to pray for us as we continue our preparations. Then join us on the 26th to learn from God’s Word, to enjoy fellowship, and to encourage these men as they test and sharpen their spiritual gifts.
